Who We Work With

Students

Some of the best ideas are waiting within the walls of Harrisburg University. If you have a business idea, we want to set you up for success. Our launchU startup challenge is designed to help you explore a business idea with the help of expert mentors at no cost.

Business Owners

Whether you run a business or have an idea for one, we equip you with the resources and knowhow to scale your startup or get it off the ground. We also host regular events to help you — and your network of investors, advisors, and other business owners — grow.

Faculty

We work with you to design student projects that align to industry interests and set students up for success after graduation. We can also introduce you to a larger audience to position you as a subject matter expert within a particular industry or help facilitate technology transfer.
